This fine budget record player is available in two forms. The first is a standard record player with arm and cartridge fitted. It is a plug and play device that can be plugged into any amplifier with a dedicated turntable input.
The other - the Phono SB has a phono stage actually built into it - as well as a USB that enables the unit to be plugged directly into a computer for digitising!
Select the option you wish in the drop down box.
The new Elemental Phono USB table is a real "plug'n'play" all the way. No adjustment of counterweight and anti-skating is needed, because both are pre-adjusted. This new straight tonearm is optimised for Ortofon OM cartridge series.
All the buyer needs to do is remove it from the box, remove bearing guard, locate the belt around the platter, remove stylus guard and plug it into hi-fi system and computer.
The hidden secret to the new table's sonic success, is a central gravity mass point, made from artificial stone and placed directly underneath the platter bearing. It is capable to fully absorb unwanted rumble and motor vibration. This turntable appears to be pure simplicity itself, while maintaining high quality audio standards and vinyl recording capability.

Q: Can I play my turntable through my computer/laptop using USB without recording?
A: To play records in Audacity without recording, make sure 'software playthrough' is enabled in the Transport menu, then right click the right-hand recording VU meter with the microphone symbol, which turns on "monitoring". Click in the meter again if you want to turn monitoring off.
